What is your favorite way to eat chicken? (photo credit: BigStockPhotos.com)
It is a scene common to any household in the country. After a long day of work, you arrive home to a chorus of voices asking what’s for dinner. You open the refrigerator or freezer and reach for the closest package of chicken, trying to figure out what to do with the meat inside. You run through the list of standard options in your head quickly discarding some because they are too time-consuming and others because you just had them. You settle on one recipe and then another only to realize each time that you lack vital ingredients. Frustrated and already exhausted, you reach for the phone and give-in to the temptation to make dinner someone else’s dilemma.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Most of the time, we just can’t make our mind think outside of our regular menu. We end up having the same five or six things every week until we grow so tired of them that eating out feels like the only palatable option. If this sounds like you, we have just the thing to help keep you on track for making home cooked meals.
